District Attorney John Chisholm went so far as to rule that "there was no basis to conclusively link Mr Trammell's death to the actions taken by the police officers" - WTF did I just read??? I can't believe it.
- gammateam 8y agoI honestly feel like Prosecuters, Juries, District Attorneys, Judges, Sheriffs, Mayors and Govenors are afraid of their police departments. The way these investigations and prosecutions go remind me a lot of the mob investigations, where it took the feds to really take them down. Every municipality is different, and at different points in time, but I think this is an overlooked part of all of this. I think its greater than just a "blue shield" or sense of camaraderie with officers, I think there is fear. And I've seen circumstances where that's valid, such as when Adrian Schoolcraft was dragged out of his home and thrown in an asylum by fellow police officers just because he showed up late to work that day and they got paranoid he was going to out them.
